Movie to be shown at Woodstock Pool

The Town of Woodstock and the Shenandoah County Parks & Recreation Department have partnered to host a “dive-in” movie at the Woodstock pool.

Town Manager Angela Clem said doors will open at 8 p.m. today at the Woodstock pool, with the movie beginning when it becomes dark or when screen visibility is good.

“This event is a partnership between the town and the county. The town frequently looks for opportunities to provide safe and fun events that contribute to our citizens’ quality of life,” she said. “This is also a fun event for families to participate in together, which is a way to wind down the week on a Friday night.”

This is the first time the town has hosted the dive-in movie. Clem said they were pleased when Shenandoah County Parks & Recreation Director Jered Hoover contacted the town about creating the pool event.

“This is an excellent opportunity for the town and the county to pool resources to host a fun night for the community,” she added.

Clem said the cost of $5 per person will admit moviegoers to the pool area. The town will also have a concession stand open with food for purchase.

Lifeguards will be on duty for the event to ensure the safety of all participants, she added.
